“Until the unconscious becomes conscious, the subconscious will continue to direct your life and you will call it fate,” writes Carl Jung.
Similarly, Breath does not need to be controlled by the mind but left free and organic!
“Breath and Consciousness in the Process of Liberation”
Carl Jung reminds us that until our unconscious contents are brought to the light of consciousness, they will continue to influence our lives, making us believe that what happens is inevitable or part of our destiny. Similarly, breathing, often unconscious, becomes a reflection of unresolved or held internal states. Many people breathe shallowly without realizing it, because their bodies are stuck in patterns of tension that mirror unprocessed thoughts/programs and emotions.
The Soulspension approach comes into play here in a powerful and immediate way, offering a body experience that allows access to these unconscious tensions and patterns. Through pressure and simple movements or stretches of the body on the instrument's channel, and targeted stimulation along the spine, Soulspension facilitates the release of accumulated tensions, allowing the breath to become freer and more organic.
The body, freed from its blocks, no longer needs to “control” the breath. As the unconscious becomes conscious, the breath can finally flow naturally, integrating body, mind and emotions. Breathing becomes once again a tool for deep connection with our inner Self, instead of being a reflection of our tensions.
Benefits of Soulspension on breathing
• Release of postural tension: By freeing the spine and surrounding muscle structures, the breath finds more space to expand naturally.
• Activation of the autonomic nervous system: Through deep relaxation, Soulspension helps to rebalance the nervous system, promoting calmer and deeper breathing.
• Breath awareness: During a Soulspension session, you become aware of how much your breathing is influenced by unconscious tensions. This new awareness also accompanies you in your daily life, allowing you to “dissolve” patterns of control and rigidity.
In this way, Soulspension is not just a postural tool, but becomes a tool to awaken a deeper awareness of our body and our breathing, facilitating a true process of inner liberation.
